Andrews–Gordon qq-series conjecture

From papers

Let k1k\geq1, 1k1\leq\ell\leq k, 1ik+11\leq i\leq k+1, 1i+11\leq i'\leq\ell+1, and q<1|q|<1. Let CkC_k be the Cartan matrix of type AkA_k, let B1B_{\ell-1} be the inverse Cartan matrix of type A1A_{\ell-1}, and let ej\vec{e}_j be the standard basis vectors, with ej=0\vec{e}_j=\vec{0} for jk+1j\geq k+1. Define

Qi,i,=ei+ei+2++ei+ei+2++e+1+e+3+.\vec{Q}_{i,i',\ell}=\vec{e}_i+\vec{e}_{i+2}+\cdots+\vec{e}_{i'}+\vec{e}_{i'+2}+\cdots+\vec{e}_{\ell+1}+\vec{e}_{\ell+3}+\cdots.

Let rr and ss have the meanings used in the source. Andrews–Gordon qq-series conjecture. The parity-restricted qq-series on the left-hand side of the statement is equal to the first displayed expression on the right when rk(mod2)r\equiv k\pmod2, and to the second displayed expression when r≢k(mod2)r\not\equiv k\pmod2. These expressions involve sums over nn, μ\vec{\mu}, and congruence-restricted integers jj, with the exponents and congruence conditions exactly as displayed in the source. The identities would produce new qq-series results after replacing qq by 1/q1/q and taking LL\to\infty; the source gives no proof or resolution beyond presenting them as conjectures.
